Befriending Your Shadow| Barry Michels, Psychotherapist, Bestselling Author

#146 - Is there a part of you that feels unlovable? You know that part of yourself you're always trying to hide, change, or overcompensate? That's your Shadow. We're talking about what the Shadow means, how it affects your parenting and the power it holds within you. Psychotherapist, and New York Times bestselling author BARRY MICHELS explains how recognizing and aligning with our Shadow, a term coined by Carl Jung, can actually lead us to a better relationship with our children and ourselves. And Barry walks Ellie through a difficult moment in her birth experience that left her feeling exposed and ashamed until this honest and healing conversation.
